These rugged pumps are ideal for bulk plant
service, multiple cylinder filling applications,
vaporizers, bobtails and transports.
Single or double-ended drive shaft models
are offered in 2, 3 and 4-inch port sizes
with capacities ranging from 30 to 300 US
gpm (114-1135 lpm). The TLGLD2 and TLGLD3
models have long been popular for bobtail
service because of their double-ended drive
shaft arrangement, which allows the pump
to be easily positioned for clockwise or
counterclockwise shaft rotation.
All models have an internal safety relief
valve, and a replaceable casing liner and
end discs for easy rebuilding of the pumping
chamber if ever necessary.
Standard construction materials include
Buna-N mechanical seals and Duravanes for
handling both LP-gas and anhydrous ammonia.
Optional viton fitted mechanical seals,
laminated vanes and a corrosion-resistant
relief valve are also available.
Maximum differential pressure for the 2
and 3-inch models is 150 psi (1034 kPa),
and 125 psi (862 kPa) for the 4-inch models.
Ports are offered with NPT tapped companion
flanges or weld flanges.
Truck Mounted Drive
Blackmer LGL2 and TLGLD2 pump models are
often mounted to the chassis of a bobtail,
or to a steel pad that is welded to the
tank.
The 3 and 4-inch models can be mounted to
a transport in an number of different ways,
generally near or between the tank landing
gear brackets.
Truck mounted pumps are normally driven
through a P.T.O. or hydraulic drive system.
